Apparatus for processing liquids |
(57) An apparatus for processing liquids has a container (4) having an inlet (5) for the
liquid and an air exhaust (7). The apparatus has a cap (8') closing one end of the
container and having an outlet (6) for the liquid, and a further (8) cap closing the
other end of the container and having neither an inlet port nor an outlet port. A
plurality of semipermeable hollow fibers (2) accommodated in the container are arranged
in parallel with and longitudinally of the container (4). One end of each hollow fiber
(2) extends through a seal (3') so as to communicate with the outlet, while the other
end terminates in a further seal (3) so as to be closed therein, so that in spite
of a simple, smaller and inexpensive structure, this apparatus is effective to prevent
any amount of antiseptic solution from remaining unexhausted.
